Audio/Video and Screenshare

Once you have shared the URL and someone has joined your Paper, you will hear a 'ding-dong' to let you know they have arrived.

Then simply click the call button on the bottom right hand side to toggle the communications panel which will allows you to start audio/video calls, screenshare and/or use the chat.

Your collaborator will be invited to join the call via a popup and you will here a chime as soon as the join the call.

Once on a video call, you can reposition the video windows by dragging and dropping them onto the whiteboard. You can also maximize a specific video window, or toggle Theatre Mode for a full screen view of all video windows.

The 3rd icon on your video window will share your desktop screen.

This allows other parties to view applications outside of Bitpaper such as Microsoft Excel or other web pages that you would like them to see on your computer.

Screensharing doesn't work on iOS devices (iPads and iPhones).

You can also mute your audio, toggle your camera on/off or pin a specific video window to the top of the video window list.

When you're done, both you and all the call participants should hang up the video call to end it.
